An access log is a detailed list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a particular website. Every single file that was requested for whatever reason shall be listed, so if you have only one webpage with three embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the six files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the webpage. A log typically contains the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s Operating System, web browser and IP address. Oftentimes you can also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The information which an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a desktop machine and used to prepare reports on the efficiency of an Internet site, independent of the web statistics that your web hosting server may have generated.
